Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the chicken breast. Finely chop the lemongrass (white part only), garlic, red chilies, and ginger. In a large bowl, combine chicken with chopped lemongrass, garlic, chilies, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    ~20 min

    While the chicken marinates, cook the coconut rice. Rinse the jasmine rice. In a saucepan, combine rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Tips

  • For a less spicy dish, remove the seeds from the red chilies before chopping, or reduce the number of chilies used.
  • Leftover stir-fry can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
